The other issue of course is that PEI is only like 50 feet long and you'll drive into the ocean if you're going too fast.

It’s amazing what a little sissy ME is

I hear Ford is raising the blood alcohol limit to 1.08. Buck a beer and all.

Pretty funny to think going faster isn't more dangerous.

Just one more beer before heading out on the road couldn’t hurt.

I agree.

Here’s a speed test to prove your point. Have someone drive their car into a wall at 1kmh.

Then get them to try again at 110kmh

I nominate MindzEye for the test. Also do it with and without seatbelt, airbags, etc

We should be doing more to make roads safer.

Sometimes the absolute risks of something like driving 110 vs 100 are so small that not even thinking about them will extend your life more than stressing about them.

 

[UWHabs]

Raising the limit to 110 works if you start ticketing above that. If you are caught going 115, you get a fine. 110 at least is reasonable enought that people can go that and that is what the roads are made for. 100 is just unreasonably slow that you go over the limit anyways for those roads.

I stress about them as a matter of public policy, not personal risk. It won't change how I drive. My personal math is that I'd rather see 100 fewer people die on our highways per year. 100 fewer funerals, 100 fewer grieving families, etc. Over something as trivial as a few minutes in travel time.

Don’t get this post at all because you def don’t care about people.

 

[MindzEye]

No no, I love people. You though, can fuck off.

 

[Preston]

Saving hours of commute time per year for a 0.0001% increased chance of death is a great deal tbh

Which card do you use to buy gas with?

how many people die or clog up hospitals from the stress of always being late

 

[WellPlayed]

Aberdeen just abandoned ME when he saw the FI gang bang getting fired up.

 

[Aberdeen]

I still agree with ME 100%. I'm just lazy. I gave up trying to convince anyone of anything online a long time ago.

This is Ford marginally decreasing public safety to buy some votes. Pretty simple.

Ah, but you can leave earlier. I love the people that stroll in to work late, blaming traffic with a Tim’s or Starbucks in hand.
